Overview

Hex Workshop v4.2 added basic support for C style bitfields. Bitfields allow users to view and edit a selection of consecutive bits as an independent integer. This reduces the need to count bits and convert binary to decimal. Hex Workshop supports 8, 16, 32, and 64 bit bitfields.

struct screenchar

{

  unsigned short character : 8;

  unsigned short color : 4;

  unsigned short underline : 1;

  unsigned short blink : 1;

};

In the example above, 16 bit value is broken into a 8-bit character, 4 bit color, and 1 bit flags for the underline and blink attributes.
